The graphic layer includes a plurality of micrographics and the focusing layer generally includes a plurality of micro-lenses, and the micro-lenses interact with the graphic layer to form an image with a magnifying effect. Micro-lenses are artificially designed, with a micro-scale or nano-scale size, and a functional structure arranged in a specific manner. The micro-lenses possess characteristics of light weight, high design freedom, and flexible structure, and thus have significant advantages in the field of optical imaging.
However, among the above imaging methods, the size of the formed image is related to the sizes of the micro-lens and the micrographics.

In addition, in the context, it should also be understood that when an element is referred to as being connected “above” or “below” another element, it means that the element can not only be directly connected “above” or “below” another element, but also indirectly connected “above” or “below” another element through intervening elements.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an optical imaging film, which can be used as an anti-counterfeiting film, a decorative film, and the like. As shown in FIG. 1, the optical imaging film includes a graphic layer 1 and a focusing layer 2. The graphic layer 1 is used to form a magnified preset graphic 111. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the preset graphic 111 is a Chinese character “
”, and under the action of the focusing layer 2, the optical imaging film can present an image of “
”, and the image has a magnifying effect.
As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 11, the graphic layer 1 includes a plurality of sub-graphics 111 a, and among the plurality of the sub-graphics 111 a, at least part of the sub-graphics 111 a are the partial patterns of the preset graphic 111. That is, the plurality of the sub-graphics 111 a are all partial patterns of preset graphic 111. Alternatively, part of the sub-graphics 111 a are the partial patterns of preset graphic 111, and the other part of sub-graphics 111 a are the entire preset graphic 111.
When each of the sub-graphics 111 a is partial pattern of preset graphic 111, each of the sub-graphics 111 a can be combined to form the above-mentioned preset graphic 111. That is, each of the sub-graphics 111 a is equivalent to the structure formed by partitioning the preset graphic 111, respectively. Each of the sub-graphics 111 a needs to meet a condition of being capable of forming a complete preset graphic 111. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 11, in the graphic layer 1, the sub-graphics 111 a are at intervals.
In the optical imaging film, the sub-graphics 111 a one-to-one corresponds to the focusing structures 21 of the focusing layer 2. That is, each focusing structure 21 interacts with the corresponding sub-graphics 111 a so as to form an image with magnifying effect according to the Moire imaging principle, and the image is a virtual image. Therefore, the distribution regulation of each sub-graphic 111 a is the same as the focus structure 21.
It should be noted that, the Moire imaging principle adopted in the present disclosure is different from the principle of directly magnifying micro-images through a lens (convex lens imaging) in the related art. Please refer to the related art for the Moire imaging principle.
The design idea of the present disclosure is described as follows: in the present Moire imaging technology, the graphic layer 1 is usually provided with a plurality of complete target graphs, and each target graph is located in the periodic unit or within the aperture range of the corresponding focusing structure 21. Therefore, under the action of the plurality of focusing structures 21 of the focusing layer 2, an image with magnifying effect is formed. For example, assuming that the imaging magnification of the focusing structure 21 is 200×, the target graph can be magnified by 200 times through the interaction between the focusing layer 2 and the graphic layer 1, that is, an image with a magnification effect of 200 times is formed. In the present disclosure, the graphic layer 1 includes a plurality of sub-graphics 111 a, and under the action of each sub-graphic 111 a and the corresponding focusing structure 21, an image with magnifying effect can be formed. Compared with the related art, in the present disclosure, the size of the sub-graphics 111 a is close to the size of the complete preset graphic in the related art, such that the preset graphic 111 can be magnified, thereby increasing the size of the image. For example, assuming that the imaging magnification of the focusing structure 21 is 200×, under the condition that the focusing structure 21 remains unchanged, the graphic layer 1 is configured as a plurality of sub-graphics 111 a, and the preset graphic 111 corresponding to the sub-graphics 111 a is 3 to 5 times of the present target graph. Therefore, after Moire imaging, an image with a magnification of 200×(3˜5) times can be formed. Images with larger magnifications can be obtained without changing the height or depth of the images.
In an embodiment, the preset graphic 111 is divided into N equal parts, and in the above-mentioned sub-graphics 111, the partial pattern of each preset graphic is 1/N of the preset graphic 111. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the sub-graphics 111 are combined, there is no overlapping area between the partial patterns of each preset graphic. At this time, the optical imaging film can present the image of preset graphic 111 and has a good imaging effect.
In another embodiment, the preset graphic 111 is divided into N equal parts, and in the above-mentioned sub-graphics 111, at least part of the partial pattern of each preset graphic is greater than 1/N of the preset graphic 111. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the sub-graphics 111 are combined, there is an overlapping area between at least part of the partial pattern of each preset graphic. At this time, the optical imaging film can still present the image of preset graphic 111.
That is, assuming that there are totally n sub-graphics 111 a, each sub-graphic 111 a of the n sub-graphics 111 a may be provided with the equally divided part, and may also be spread out from the center of the equal division to form partial pattern. Moreover, since each sub-graphic 111 a includes the equally divided part, when combining, at least one preset graphic 111 can be combined regardless of the overlapping extent.
In addition, the distribution of the preset graphic 111 corresponding to the partial pattern of each sub-graphic 111 a is larger than the periodic unit where the sub-graphic 111 a is located or larger than the aperture range of the corresponding focusing structure 21. Each sub-graphic 111 a actually presents the parts in the period unit corresponding to the preset graphic 111 or within the aperture range of the corresponding focusing structure 21. Thus, the partial pattern of the sub-graphic 111 a can be configured with a maximum size as large as the periodic unit area or the aperture range of the corresponding focusing structure 21, or with a minimum size as small as the equally divided part, as well as any intermediate value between the maximum and the minimum. The equally divided part is located at the center of the sub-graphic 111 a and is provided directly opposite to the center of the focusing structure 21, such that the sub-graphic 111 a directly opposite to the center of each focusing structure 21 is a different equal division. The shape of the partial pattern formed by the diffusion with the equal division as the center can be a circle, a triangle, a square, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a regular hexagon, a special shape, or the like.
Each sub-graphic 111 a has a center point, and each center point corresponds to a point at a different position of the preset graphic 111.
In addition, each sub-graphic 111 a corresponds to a different region of the preset graphic 111, respectively. That is, the sub-graphics 111 a present patterns of different regions of the preset graphic 111.
In an embodiment, the graphs presented by each sub-graphic 111 a are different from each other. The difference of the graphs presented by the sub-graphics 111 a includes: the contents of the graphs presented by the sub-graphics 111 a are different from each other, and/or the positions of the sub-graphics 111 a in the preset graphic 111 are different from each other.
In another embodiment, all the graph parts presented by each sub-graphic 111 a are the same. That is, in each sub-graphic 111 a, there exists at least two sub-graphics 111 a presenting the same graph, and the graph parts presented by adjacent sub-graphics 111 a are the same.
Among the plurality of sub-graphics 111 a, there exists one or more sub-graphics 111 a presenting blank. For example, assuming the preset graph is a hollow circle and the sub-graphic 111 a is the middle part of the hollow circle, the sub-graphic 111 a is blank.
In the above embodiments, the focusing structure 21 is a micro-lens or a Fresnel lens, and each sub-graphic 111 a and the corresponding focusing structure 21 are provided one-to-one opposite to each other.
In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the distances d1 between adjacent sub-graphics 111 a are the same. That is, the sub-graphics 111 a are distributed periodically. As shown in FIG. 7, in the focusing layer 2 of the optical imaging film, the distances between adjacent focusing structures 21 are the same. That is, the focusing structures 21 are distributed periodically.
In an embodiment, the periodically distributed focusing structures 21 and the sub-graphic 111 a can form a single image with magnifying effect. In addition, the period of the focusing structures 21 (the distance d1 between adjacent focusing structures 21) is the same as the period of the sub-graphic 111 a.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the distance d2 between adjacent sub-graphics 111 a is different. That is, the sub-graphics 111 a are randomly distributed. As shown in FIG. 10, in the optical imaging film, the distances between the adjacent focusing structures 21 of the focusing layer 2 are different. That is, the focusing structures 21 are randomly distributed, and the random distribution still satisfies the one-to-one correspondence arrangement of the sub-graphics 111 a and the focusing structures 21.
In an embodiment, the randomly distributed sub-graphics 111 a and focusing structures 21 can form a unique image. For example, the unique floated image, and through the configuration of the sub-graphics 111 a, the marginal circle around the floated image can be eliminated, thereby improving the image clarity and quality or the image. It should be noted that, in the optical imaging film, the distribution regulation of the sub-graphics 111 a can be determined by the distribution regulation of the focusing structures 21.
It is appreciated that, the shape and size of each sub-graphic 111 a may be the same or different, and the size and shape of each sub-graphic 111 a are configured according to preset graphic 111.
In the focusing layer 2, the focusing structures 21 are imprinted and solidified in the polymer layer to form a hemispherical or smaller protrusion or depression, and the diameters D of all the focusing structure 21 are the same. In some embodiments, the focusing structures 21 can also be formed by other methods such as etching.
In an embodiment, each focusing structure 21 has the same shape and size, and is a hemispherical protrusion, the diameter of which may be between 20 μm and 1000 μm.
In the above embodiments, in the graphic layer 1, each sub-graphic 111 a may include one or more of a printing pattern, an embossing pattern, and a filling pattern.
When the graphic layer 1 is formed, the above-mentioned sub-graphic 111 a can be formed by printing on the polymer layer. Alternatively, the corresponding sub-graphic 111 a can be imprinted in the polymer layer through a mold.
At the same time, the sub-graphic 111 a may further include filler pigments, so that the formed magnified preset graphic has a certain color.
In the above embodiments, the focusing structures 21 one-to-one correspond to the sub-graphics 111 a, and the sub-graphics 111 a are located at or close to the focal plane of the corresponding focusing structure 21. Therefore, the imaging effect of the focusing structures 21 on the sub-graphics 111 a is better. For the lens (focusing structure 21), the focal plane thereof is defined as the plane passing through the focal point and perpendicular to the main optical axis of the system.
It should be noted that the sub-graphics 111 a are not strictly located in the focal plane corresponding to the focusing structures 21, and the sub-graphics 111 a may be located close to the focal plane corresponding to the focusing structures 21. In an embodiment, the distance between the sub-graphic 111 a and the focal plane of the corresponding focusing structure 21 is 0.7-1.3 times of the focal length.
The total thickness of the optical imaging film is between one half of the curvature radius of the focusing structure 21 to three times of the curvature radius of the focusing structure 21. In order to make the focusing structure 21 more adoptable, the effective diameter of the focusing structure 21 may be (20 μm, 1000 μm), (20 μm, 500 μm), (55 μm, 200 μm), or (300 μm, 450 μm). In order to achieve a better imaging effect, the focal length of the focusing structure 21 may be (10 μm, 2000 μm), (20 μm, 100 μm), (200 μm, 450 μm), (550 μm, 900 μm), or (1050 μm, 1500 μm). In order to enlarge the applying arts of the optical imaging film, the total thickness of the optical imaging film is less than 5000 μm, for example, the thickness of the optical imaging film may be (20 μm, 200 μm), which is used in upscale products and those products that require ultra-thin designs. Alternatively, the thickness of the optical imaging film may be (300 μm, 500 μm), which is used for generally small-volume products and in those products without high thickness requirement. Alternatively, the thickness of the optical imaging film may be (600 μm, 1000 μm), or even thicker, such as 1200 μm, 1300 μm, 1500 μm, 2000 μm, 2500 μm, 3500 μm or 4500 μm, etc.
In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2 are formed on the same polymer layer 7. When molding, a plurality of focusing structures 21 are imprinted on one side of the same polymer layer 7 to form the focusing layer 2. At the same time, a plurality of sub-graphics 111 a are formed by imprinting and filling the material on the other side of the polymer layer 7 to form the graphic layer 1. Therefore, the optical imaging film is a one-layer film structure. The graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2 are of an integrated structure, and there is no structure such as a substrate layer between them, so that the thickness of the optical imaging film can be reduced. The mechanical properties of the integrated optical imaging film are poor, so that the optical imaging film is easily to be cut during hot imprinting.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, the optical imaging film includes a first polymer layer 12 and a second polymer layer 22. The sides of the first polymer layer 12 and the second polymer layer 22 that are adhered to each other are fused with each other. The sub-graphics 111 a are formed in the first polymer layer 12, and the focusing structures 21 are formed in the second polymer layer 22.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2, the optical imaging film also includes a substrate layer 3.

The substrate layer is a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer, a polycarbonate (PC) layer, a polyimide (PI) layer, a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) layer or a colorless polyimide (CPI) layer.
In an embodiment, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, in the optical imaging film, the graphic layer 1 includes the first polymer layer 12, in which the sub-graphics 111 a are provided. The focusing layer 2 includes the second polymer layer 22, in which the focusing structure 21 is formed. In addition, the first polymer layer 12 and the second polymer layer 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the substrate layer 3 to form a complete optical imaging film.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the optical imaging film further includes a reflective layer 4, which is provided on the outer side of the focusing layer 2. The reflective layer 4 is used to reflect the light entering the optical imaging film, thereby promoting the light to be emitted from the focusing layer 2 and improving the imaging effect.
In this embodiment, the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2 of the optical imaging film may be of an integrated structure. For example, the substrate layer 3 may also be provided between the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the optical imaging film may further include a protective layer, and the protective layer is provided on the outer side the graphic layer 1, and/or the protective layer is provided on the outer side the focusing layer 2. For example, the protective layer may include the first protective layer 5 and/or the second protective layer 6.
The first protective layer 5 is provided on the outer side of the graphic layer 1, and/or the second protective layer 6 is provided on the outer side of the focusing layer 2. The first protective layer 5 is configured to provide protection for the graphic layer 1, thereby preventing the deformation of the sub-graphics 111 a. The second protective layer 6 can provide protection for the focusing layer 2, thereby preventing the focusing structure 21 from being damaged and improving the lifespan of the optical imaging film.
In an embodiment, the first protective layer 5 can be a transparent ink layer, and the second protective layer 6 can further be used as a coloring layer.
Similarly, the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2 of the optical imaging film in this embodiment can be of an integrated structure. For example, the substrate layer 3 can also be provided between the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2, the optical imaging film also includes a reflective layer 4, a spacing layer 82, an adhesive layer 83 and a base layer 84. The reflective layer 4 is provided on the outer side of the focusing layer 2, and the outer side of the reflective layer 4 is provided with a coloring layer 81. The coloring layer 81 may be a material having a certain color. The spacing layer 82 is located between the graphic layer 1 and the focusing layer 2, which is made of transparent materials, such as PET, PC, PI, PMMA or CPI, etc. The above-mentioned graphic layer 1, focusing layer 2, reflective layer 4, and spacing layer 82 form the main body of the optical imaging film, and an adhesive layer 83 is provided at the bottom of the optical imaging film. For example, the adhesive layer 83 can be optical clear adhesive (OCA) glue. The main structure of the optical imaging film can be adhered to the base layer 84 through the adhesive layer 83 so as to form a cover plate of an electronic device, and the base layer 84 is main body of the cover plate. The base layer 84 can be glass, plastic, plexiglass, sapphire or the like. Alternatively, the optical imaging film can also be used in other fields, for example, it can be used in housings of home appliances, various outer packages and various anti-counterfeiting occasions. Alternatively, it can be used for both anti-counterfeiting functions and decoration.
In an embodiment, all the focusing structures 21 are arranged periodically to form the focusing layer 2 as shown in FIG. 7. Correspondingly, all the sub-graphics 111 a of the graphic layer 1 are also arranged periodically, such that the optical imaging films are capable of forming a magnified image that may be floating and/or sinking.
In another embodiment, all the focusing structures 21 are randomly arranged to form the imaging layer 2 as shown in FIG. 10. Correspondingly, all the sub-graphics 111 a in the graphic layer 1 are also randomly arranged, such that the optical imaging film is capable of forming a unique image that is floating and/or sinking.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging film includes a polymer layer 7, and the focusing structures 21 are imprinted in the polymer layer 7 on the side along the thickness direction H, so as to form the focusing layer 2. Alternatively, a plurality of focusing structures 21 are etched in the polymer layer 7 on the side along the thickness direction H, so as to form the above-mentioned the focusing layer 2.
The sub-graphics 111 a are printed in the polymer layer 7 on the other side along the thickness direction H to form the above-mentioned graphic layer 1.
